<p>Bedford, MA--November 6, 1998--Bare Bones Software, Inc. today announced<br />
the release of version 5.0 of their flagship product: BBEdit, the leading<br />
text and HTML editing tool for the Mac OS(tm).</p>
<p>This release is a significant upgrade that enhances the product at many<br />
levels. BBEdit 5.0 features a completely redesigned suite of HTML markup<br />
tools, as well as new additions to the core editing capabilities, and<br />
refinements of the existing feature set that has long defined this<br />
industry-leading product.</p>
<p>Featured among the new tools are the new context-sensitive Tag Maker, and<br />
its complement, the Edit Tag command. These two commands speed the creation<br />
and editing of HTML documents by providing markup options that are valid in<br />
the current working context. The new HTML markup tools in BBEdit 5.0 are<br />
supported by an underlying SGML parser, which provides the foundation for<br />
an improved HTML syntax checker.</p>
<p>"This new release represents the next stage in the evolution of the<br />
product," said Rich Siegel, president and CEO. "We are pleased to be able<br />
to supply our current customers, and all HTML authors, with such a strong<br />
platform that can grow with their needs."</p>
<p>BBEdit 5.0 is more flexible and customizable than previous releases. It<br />
incorporates a new "Set Menu Keys" command, which provides users with the<br />
means to configure keyboard equivalents for the standard BBEdit menu items.<br />
In addition, OSA scripts may be organized to the user's taste, and can be<br />
invoked easily via a new floating window, with configurable keyboard<br />
equivalents.</p>
<p>The BBEdit glossary has also been enhanced, and is now ideally suited for<br />
constructing customized HTML markup sequences and inserting them into<br />
documents with a single keystroke.</p>
<p>BBEdit's renowned multi-file searching has been enhanced, to allow users to<br />
filter files by Finder label before searching them, and present a list of<br />
files processed during a multi-file replace operation. A new "Exclude<br />
Matches" option is provided, so that users can easily identify files that<br />
do not contain any occurrences of the specified search text.</p>
<p>Finally, BBEdit 5.0 includes support for syntax coloring and function<br />
navigation in files containing JavaScript source code, improved syntax<br />
coloring and function navigation in Perl source files, and integration of<br />
the HTML markup tools with the Cumulus(r) Media Management System (tm), a<br />
product of Canto Software (<a href="http://www.canto.com" title="http://www.canto.com">http://www.canto.com</a>).</p>

<p>BBEdit 5.0 is available immediately with a suggested retail price of<br />
US$119. A discounted cross-upgrade price of US$79 is available to owners of<br />
